REPORT FROM JOHANNESBURG
Swanky Khanyile stays with his wife and two young daughters in Pimville, a section of the huge Black township of Soweto, outside Johannesburg. He is 33 and has been working for four years as a machine operator in a plastics factory in Johannesburg. Swanky would not reveal his salary, except to say that “it is too little… but it is not the same as staying at home.”
The salary, paid to him on a weekly basis, does not allow him to buy one of the cheapest houses for sale in the township, so he lives in a room built in his parents’ backyard.
Swanky dropped out of school because he could not pass his matriculation exam, which is usually taken at the age of 18 or 19. He blames the lack of school facilities for his failure: “We never had enough teachers. It was so frustrating.”
After leaving school, Swanky was lucky enough to find a job. He tried to pursue his studies at night school, but only a few months after beginning his job, he was placed on a night shift. That put an end to studying.
